"A personal firewall
that filters ingoing and outgoing traffic on your computer.
It alerts you of any applications that attempts to connect
to the Internet and allows you to permanently or temporarily
allow or block the connection. Advanced users can customize
the application and TCP/IP rules based on IP address,
protocol and destination port, however this is not required
unless you have a reason to customize the rules. In addition
to application behavior and network connections, Comodo
Firewall also monitors components (dll files etc.) that
initiate network connections, as well as parent processes
and modifications to executables (checksum verification).
Other features include attack prevention (port scanning,
flooding), adjustable security levels, trusted networks,
activity log and more. Comodo Firewall is easy to use for
novice users, but includes enough flexibility via custom
rule settings that allow advanced users to tweak it for
their needs. The program requires a free registration after
30 days."

"Kerio
Personal Firewall (KPF) is a software agent that builds a barrier
between your personal computer and the Internet. KPF is designed to
protect your PC against attacks from both the Internet, and other
computers in the local network. The firewall controls all data flow in
both directions – from the Internet to your computer and vice
versa, and it can also block all attempted connections, allowing only
what you choose to permit. MD5 application signatures protect the
computer from Trojan horses imitating trusted programs. Kerio features
three security levels for easy configuration, as well as options for
advanced users to create their own rules. The program initially starts
in a learning mode, prompting you for each detected connection and
creates customized rules automatically. Kerio Personal Firewall is easy
enough to use for novice users, and also provides the flexibility of
custom rules for advanced users. Pro version available with additional
features. Free for personal use. After installation, KPF works as the
full edition for 30 days, after which it becomes the limited free
edition."

Note:
Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall
can run in a free mode vs. a full (paid) mode. Install it now,
and for the first 30 days it will run in 'full' mode. After
that, it shuts down selected features, but will continue to run
in 'free' mode", meaning the firewall will still function, just
without some of the additional features. --Sunbelt

"Monitors in/outbound
network activity in real time and lets you control which programs are allowed to
access the Internet. You can define trusted zones for LAN IP addresses or websites
and the program will alert you of any attempted intrusions. When a program is
trying to use the internet, you are prompted to allow or disallow the
activity, with an option to remember the choice, so you don`t have to confirm your
frequently used programs all the time. In addition, Omniquad Personal Firewall
can automatically lock your internet connection after a specified time of
inactivity, and also offers a Global Lock button, that lets you block all network
traffic immediately. Additional features include email protection to quarantine
suspicious attachments, detailed logging and more."

"the first personal firewall

product as thousands of developers from different countries
all working on an open one.
Agnitum Outpost is the first personal firewall that supports
plug-ins. Sample plug-ins are included to show how this
revolutionary technology can easily be employed for such
tasks as Intrusion Detection, Advertisement Blocking,
Content Filtering, E-mail Guard and Privacy Control.

firewall should have. It is the most functional firewall in
the world. Outpost supports all the latest security
techniques and features such as: Full Stealth Mode,

your system as soon as it's installed.
Compatibility is no problem. Agnitum Outpost brings you
peace of mind in any environment no matter what." --Snapfiles.com

"Combines an application
firewall and real-time file-guard into a network security
tool, that allows you to control which programs are
accessing the Internet, and/or delete files on your
computer. Whenever network activity occurs that is not
allowed by any existing rule, the program prompts you for
approval before allowing the activity. It offers inbound and
outbound network filtering via TCP,UDP/IP, as well as
customizable options to protect files from being written,
deleted, or copied. The program can distinguish between user
initiated action (from the keyboard) or other actions, that
could be triggered by malicious applications. Additional
features include digital fingerprinting of programs, self
protection, detailed logging and more. " --Snapfiles.com
